Verve Release Retrospecitve

Welcome to Verve's August Release Retrospective Blog Hop! The Verve Divas are hopping today and serving up some more inspiration using the August release stamps & dies! Besides a peek at some really cool cards, there are also a couple of prizes up for grabs!

If you have come her from Charmaine's blog you are right on track.  If you just happened upon the hop, you can check the hop list below to get caught up.

For my card, I chose to use this fabulous new Psalm 34:8 Plain Jane.  Love this verse!  I embellished the card with the flowers and leaves from Dream Big and used the matching Scalloped Flowers and Dreamy Leaves dies to cut them out.


Want to win some shiny new Verve? We're giving away a $40 gift voucher to one lucky commenter along the hop, so be sure to leave a shout out in the comments as you hop about.

Want another chance to win? Now it's your turn! We'd LOVE to see what you've done with the August release. Link up your cards using at least one product from our August release and you'll be entered in a drawing to win our entire next release! All the details and the linkup widget are on the Verve Blog today. The deadline is October 3, so there's still plenty of time to get the August release if you haven't already.
